Well, we made some progress in debt reduction. Sticking to the budget was a problem this month. We spent $500 more than we made- although $350 of that was for a much needed twin bed set for our daughter. The rest of the overflow was from medical expenses and going out for dinner too much. We're really going to focus more on sticking to the budget this month.
We did make $120 by selling used things on Craigslist...we're running out of used things, but any extra income helps. My husband is interviewing for jobs that will hopefully earn him more money. I may start looking for a higher paying job soon myself (although probably not for several more months). I am underpaid for the industry I work in, and work really isn't fulfilling anymore. I may look into a complete career change the next time I start job hunting.
As for the holidays, we don't have much to spend...but I think we'll make due. We did manage to pay down some of the debt this month, and we have a little bit left in December's budget for a few gifts, and many of our family members aren't exchanging gifts this year because they're in too much debt too.
